Community Development Minister Kampamba Mulenga says Government is currently holding consultations on how best workers in the informal sector can benefit from the emergency Covid-19 social cash transfer.
Ms. Mulenga says officials from her ministry are engaging experts in the department of labour to ensure that workers in the informal sector severely affected by Covid-19 benefit from the fund.
She says some workers in the informal sector have been thrown out of business because of the pandemic and the government will use the emergency social cash transfer to mitigate their sufferings.
Ms. Mulenga who is also Kalulushi MP clarified that all those under the government social security programs will also benefit from the emergency relief funds.
She was speaking to the media after attending the induction of Reverend Christopher Yamba as United Church of Zambia Trinity congregation Reverend in Charge.
And Reverend Yamba said the church will continue praying and counseling the government ahead of the 2021 general elections.

Thank God, UCZ would have stripped naked, if it was Yaluma???

Excellent!! A listening and considerate Government is what we have in power. This will help uplift a lot of people, considering how hard it is to make a come back during and after the pandemic. Thank you Honourable Kampamba Mulenga-Chewe.

According to Jennifer Bitonde, the WFP’s representative in Zambia, the WFP has been reaching poor families in parts of Lusaka and Kafue. She says this EU funding will enable WFP extend assistance to two more cities, Livingstone and Kitwe. Is this fraud scheme of collecting details of NRCs and other details from people linked to this WFP support programme? Can the WFP explain how their support is provided to those who depend on informal sector, the…
Can the WFP explain how their support is provided to those who depend on informal sector, the elderly, people living with disabilities and the chronically ill? What is the difference between the PF empowerment fund and this WFP programme?

So the informal workers get money and they never pay tax, but the hard working Zambian that pays tax gets SFA, no wonder the country is broke
